About Matthew H.

Beginning to Intermediate Drum lessons and beats that are actually used in today's and yesteryear's "hit songs".

It's no secret, drums is the backbone or "foundation" to any hit song.

I break down drumming to its most basic rudiments so that you will grow by leaps and bounds instead of just crawling along.

You have to walk before you can run so getting it right initially is very important to moving forward and getting you playing your favorite songs quickly and accurately..

About Matthew

Hi.. My name is Matt. I'm a very energetic, friendly, understanding & passionate music coach who has worked with students & clientele throughout the US. Possessing more than 25 years of music training & music industry experience, I've been able to take people's Playing to amazing levels.

In my musical travels I've networked or shared the stage with many famous NW music legends: 1.) Roger Fisher- Heart-2013 Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame Inductee2.) Lynn Sorensen- Paul Rogers/Bad Co/KZOK's Spike & Impalers3.) Donny Evola - Geoff Tate/Former Queensryche/Foghat4.) Jeff Kathan- Paul Rogers/Bad Company/Montrose5.) Doug Mcgrew- Geoff Tate/Former Queensryche Singer/Operation Mindcrime6.) Update - For the last year I have been playing off and on with Rudy Parris from NBC TV's "The Voice". Season 3 - Team Blake. He is an incredible music

ian and I'm proud to call him and his manager my friends. His new album coming out is nothing short of amazing.

In fact everyone I've mentioned above are pro all the way and great guys as well. I"m honored to have played with them.

I challenge my students to view music more than just as a "skill", but also a tool to communicate effectively and to combat life's obstacles.

You got to know the rules 1st, before you can then break the rules. This is how you develop your own unique style. And it's what separates the Pro Players from the rest of the pack.

But even if you don't want to play professionally, maybe you just want to learn a few chords, licks, songs, for yourself, or to impress friends. That's okay too!

I welcome every level and style. I always learn something from my students.That's what music is all about. Learning & trading tips and licks from other musicians.

Bottom Line Is... I can help you learn and progress on your instrument faster...

Let me be the Music Coach to get you there!

*** Lesson Details ***The most important thing in a lesson with me is to learn while having FUN! I am a very laid-back teacher who wants to focus on music making you smile. We will choose material and a pace of learning that will keep you excited to rehearse and return the following lesson improved!

PERSONALIZE your guitar lessons by learning techniques used by your favorite artists in "their" songs. FEEL FREE learning in a comfortable atmosphere where you can excel successfully as a musician! CONQUER shyness and insecurities by unleashing the dynamic performer in you!

Sorry No Disco Ball Yet.. You Can Bring Your Own If You Want Though. I've Got Some Bell Bottoms Somewhere Around The Studio Here.

*** Specialties ****Teachers classified as a Student Favorite have taught a minimum of 25 lessons and have received the highest feedback rating from students.

My Unique Specialty - is teaching students the rudimental basics 1st, & then how to copy your favorite artists off the CD, radio or iPod, almost note for note. Believe me, it can be done. You just have to know what to listen for..

Brand New - MEASURE your success by recording your music progress along the way. I do own a recording studio, so we can record students progress via audio or video and then post to my YouTube channel.

About Scott S.

I have a 100% rate of getting my students into their school of choice as of yet. Although I don't guarantee it, I will work relentlessly to make sure you are well prepared though. I will also lend you PDFs of books to help you save a buck.

About Scott

*Brief Update: Both of my 8th grade students were accepted to LaGuardia High School and my 5th grade student was accepted into Mark Twain Middle School for the Gifted & Talented. He also passed his audition for Borough Wide Band. Next up is getting my Junior in high school into All State Orchestra!*

*Update again. My student made all state!

I have been playing drums and percussion since the ripe old age of 9, in 4th grade. Originally wanting to play the clarinet, my music teacher thought my sense of rhythm was too good to waste and placed me in the drum section. I was the only kid who didn't want to play drums. Twenty years later here I am, a professional freelancing percussionist and teacher. The journey to where I am was a long and winding one but I can't imagine it any other way. After learning basic drumming in elementary sch

ool, I continued through middle school. There I was placed on drum kit and thought I was the coolest. I didn't take it too seriously but serious enough to keep playing drum kit. When choosing high schools I wasn't interested in keeping with drums. I only took marching band because it meant no gym. After my first year I was placed in every band the next three years, having to learn timpani and marimba for concert band. I was also recommended to join a city wide concert band, InterSchool orchestras of New York, and haven't left since. I still coach the band and help tons of high school and middle school students hone their craft. Also that year, through ISO, I was given a chance to attend French woods performing arts camp on scholarship where I began my love of playing in musical pit orchestras. Through this time I studied with a couple of teachers and had plenty of coachings with professional percussionists. Upon graduating I have played well over 100 different musicals, played with over 25 different orchestras, and have taught over 100 students both privately and in coachings. I currently run a Drumline out of a private school, coach ISO band, freelance and have a studio of 8 students. That is a short sample of my journey and I hope it inspires you to study with me.

If you choose me as a teacher, I will shape you as an overall musician, not just a "Drummer". What this means is that you won't just learn beats from me, you will learn all the fundamentals of basic to intermediate music theory, from note reading and rhythm to chord changes and ..... You will start on a practice pad and quickly go to a drum kit. Lessons will be half and half, but more 75/25 drumkit, because everything you learn on a pad can translate to the kit! I would also teach you timpani and xylophone if you like so you can broaden your horizons and even get into the middle/high school or college you want. I have most of my books of pdf that I can give you to print or you can purchase your own copies. You would also need to purchase a practice pad and eventually a drum kit. If you don't want to purchase a drum kit then there is almost no reason to study it since you won't be able to practice between lessons. Practicing, let's talk about that. It is expected that you practice the material we learn in the lesson throughout the week. Now I know everyone is busy, but if you can put aside 25 minutes (a sitcom without commercials!!) a day then you will have a better understanding and better retention of the material. Doing this will let us just review the material a little bit and go on to learn new and exciting things.

The bottom line in choosing me? I am a professional musician in the trenches of the nyc music scene and know what it takes to make it.

Had my first lesson with Scott today. I was very happy with the way it went . I'm 50 years old with no experience at all - so I can honestly say the lesson was enjoyable without any pressure.

Jack F. February 8, 2017·Drum·In home

Scott is amazing with our 7 year son beginner. He has him so engaged and excited to learn & play. He's a one-of-a-kind teacher.

Dakota January 6, 2017·Drum·In home

Scott is inspiring, motivating, caring, attentive, personal and professional. In only a few weeks my daughter is developing a solid foundation in technique, rhythmic notation and musicianship. I would strongly reccommend him.

2) 15 years of DRUMS and PERCUSSION: Latin, swing, blues, as well as rock, funk, punk, and reduced to

p forty beats.

3) 15 years of PIANO: which utilizeseveral years of personal instruction in classical, popular, and some ragtime,in addition to an intimate knowledge of Piano Proficiency (scales & modes,chord structures & inversions, common chord progressions, intervals, circleof 5th, and finger exercises)

4) 2 years of MUSIC THEORY and COMPOSITION at college level.

Lessons will include additional materials to the primary instrument such as sheet music forsight reading, rhythm patterns, tabletures, and chord charts.

***Above all, I encourage students to select those pieces, tunes, or songs that have appealed to them the most; perhaps even inspiring them to learn a musical instrument in the first place. Adaptations are a common and enjoyable part of the teaching process.

*** Lesson Details ***Expect efforts, on my part, to steer learning into areas of the students particular interest as well as conventional genres such as classical, popular, folk, blues, etc...

Moreover, I rely on ear training as a strong complement to written music theory and sight-reading; often using recorded music samples or simple patterns on a piano.

I try to balance method-type published lesson books with beginner, intermediate, or original composition sheet music to specifically selected pieces.

Ideally, with a reasonable practice schedule each week, full comprehension of the written music grand staff and an ear to catch a false note will become second nature. By then, more opportunities to learn actual pieces and styles become greater, having got the initial learning curve under the students belt.

Julie November 8, 2017·Guitar·In home

I'm into my second month of weekly guitar lessons with Brett and can't believe how well I am playing already!! I've had some basic guitar lessons in the past but still very much a beginner. Brett knew precisely where to start and what I needed next to advance my playing, and broke it down into attainable steps. So far I've learned a good handful of strum patterns; I can finally play two songs pretty well and sing along; and I am in the rudimentary stage of learning to finger pick. Really love the fact that beautiful sounds are coming from my instrument! Highly recommend if you're ready to make the commitment to becoming a capable player.

Charlie E. May 24, 2014··

What a terrible experience. I signed up for lessons for my wife from Brett as a gift because he listed times that would work for my wife given that we have a young daughter, and have a hard time making time for lessons. Brett told us 3 days before the lesson that the time wouldn't work, then simply never showed for the rescheduled first lesson. Worse, he simply refused to do scheduling via email (he would leave voicemails and failed to return my wife's call when she called back as they were playing phone tag), and then told us he had another commitment during the slot we had supposedly reserved for him. Worse, he failed to update the site as he continually cancelled lessons and never showed up for scheduled times. I now have a huge hassle of getting a refund on the money I paid for lessons as opposed to a lovely gift for my wife. Life's too short and we're too busy for such an awful experience.

Scott P. March 12, 2014·Piano·

Great teacher for my young daughter

Brett has been a great teacher for my 5 year old daughter. She is just learning the basics of piano and Brett has been great at expanding her skill sets. She really enjoys practicing with him and actually looks forward to when he comes over every week!

About Evan W.

Professional teacher since 2008. Started with a snare drum in fourth grade and never stopped! Alumnus of University of Washington (BM, cum laude, Jazz Studies) + Roosevelt High School. I make sure to teach students what they are most interested in while also providing them with a strong musical foundation they can apply to any path.

About Evan

I love playing drums, and I love teaching others how to play drums. As a recent graduate from the University of Washington's acclaimed jazz program as well as an alumnus of the prestigious Roosevelt High School Jazz Band, I am a professional drummer and teacher with an extensive and unique set of experiences. Since middle school, I have been lucky enough to perform and tour all over the US and Europe, playing everything from house shows to esteemed competitions and festivals. In addition to being a member of several active local projects, I have performed with the Seattle Symphony; UW faculty members Bill Frisell, Cuong Vu, Luke Bergman, Ted Poor, and Marc Seales; several Cornish faculty members including Jim Knapp, Jovino Santos Neto, and Wayne Horvitz; and celebrated NYC-based players Wynton Marsalis, Tim Berne, Ralph Alessi, and Andrew

D'Angelo. Aside from that, I am a co-founder of Table & Chairs, a new Seattle-based record label, as well as a co-founder of the Racer Sessions, a weekly forum and performance outlet for new and improvised music.

I began teaching in 2008, shortly after beginning my studies at the University of Washington. My private students have ranged from total beginners to advanced, each one presenting a unique set of interests and abilities to work with. In addition to teaching my own students, I have much experience as a substitute percussion teacher at Northshore Junior High School (Kingsgate, WA) and Spotlight Studios (Woodinville, WA). I have also presented many clinics and workshops at local schools including Garfield High School, Edmonds-Woodway High School, Ballard High School, Eckstein Middle School, and Holy Names Academy, as well as for Seattle JazzED. For these, the topics covered have ranged from free improvisation to straight-ahead and big band jazz.

*** Lesson Details ***For beginning players, I like to start with the books "A Fresh Approach to the Snare Drum" and "A Fresh Approach to the Drum Set," both by Mark Wessels. These books do a great job of laying down the fundamentals that all drummers should learn at the outset of their education. Beyond that, what I teach depends largely on any specific path(s) the student may wish to pursue, though of course it is totally fine if the student doesn't immediately know what they would like to study beyond the basics. In that case, I would do my best to construct a rough curriculum that I think would work well for the student. The following books are all ones I have worked with and have found to be excellent at improving unique things: "Syncopation" (Ted Reed), "Stick Control" (G.L. Stone), "The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary As Taught By Alan Dawson" (John Ramsay), "Patterns" (Gary Chaffee), and "Portraits in Rhythm" (Anthony Cirone).

I prefer lessons to be focused on a curriculum, however customized it may be, as I have found that approach to be the most efficient, especially with younger players. While I believe that it is very important to learn the fundamentals of drumming, I also believe that some of the most rewarding experiences a student can have may be achieved through realizing their own unique creative potential. Thus, I find it great to set the curriculum aside for part of the lesson, either to allow the student some time to show me what else they've been working on, listening to, watching, thinking about, or perhaps to just jam and have fun. I also expect students to make progress on their own between lessons, though I understand fully from my teaching experience that the amount of progress I can expect is different for each student.

Evan has knowledge, is friendly and my son has been enjoying his lessons.

Tino H. January 24, 2016·Drum·In studio

I gave these lessons to my husband as a gift and he really enjoyed meeting Evan and is looking forward to learning more from him.

Hunter A. January 20, 2016·Drum·In studio

Hunter loves his teacher, we are very happy with him. He is good at teaching the fundamentals of music theory, like notation and scales but also keeps it relevant and fun. He asks Hunter what type of music he's into so that it isn't a chore to practice- it is pretty cool that a 10 year old is playing The White Stripes!

About David L.

My teaching technique is learner-centered. I work with students to help them build a strong vocabulary of drum rudiments and have them apply their newly acquired drumming knowledge to the songs and genres that interest them most. I have found this to be ideal for those at the beginning and intermediate levels. For the advanced drummers out there, I may be able to assist with some minor application of technique or perhaps deviate from standard drumming practices to acquire a fuller awareness of the body's interaction with not only the drumsticks and drum set, but how to maintain total postural awareness.

About David

Many years of drum instruction with students who have learned best with alternative learner-centered approaches including: extreme patience, slow to fast repetition of patterns and exercises, focused breathing, as well as sight-reading, rhythm and ear training. Students with: Asperger's, Autism, Dyslexia and related states have benefited greatly.

About Alex C.

I've been playing drums for over 10 years now, and I love everything about it. During our lessons, I'll teach technique, but I would also love to discuss what kind of sounds you get from different drums and how to tune your equipment to your liking. My main genre is jazz, so I'd love to teach you how to improvise jazz-style, too!

About Alex

Hello!

I am a 25-year-old drummer looking to build out my private drum lessons business. I've been playing for over 10 years, and I attended music school at EWU. I often play shows around town with my band, Speakeasy.

I do not have a studio of my own in which to teach, so interested students will need to have their own drum set and space to practice in. I will bring my own kit for the lessons, if needed, as well. I am happy to come to students' homes. I have a car, so I can easily travel around Seattle and the surrounding area.

As I will need to transport and set up my equipment, I would highly prefer hour-long lessons, but I will accept half-hour lessons. Please also keep in mind that I will need time to set up and tear down my equipment, so while I will only charge for actual lesson time, I will need an extra 10ish minutes at the sta

rt and end of each lesson for equipment gathering.

I'm excited to meet you so we can learn from each other!

About Alan S.

I teach an array of percussion instruments from Conga hand drums to Steel drums to full set drums.

About Alan

Drumming is a passion of mine since 1972 when I first started to play on my cousins drum set next door. When I entered in to High School I became the first freshman drummer in Marina High Schools history to be selected to play & tour Europe twice with their pop vocal group called the Mariners. Later I joined many professional bands doing studio recordings from 1978 to present day. I taught drums to a group of special needs kids in Ohio and that was very rewarding for me to see them drumming good and taking drumming seriously. I have been on national radio as drummer for a rock band called The Tweezers and International TV while I was the drummer/co-producer for a band called Bad Juju that was on MTV worldwide and we opened up for a well known rock group called: Living Color. I studied drumming under the direction of the legendary Joe Porc

aro privately at his home in 1981 and he taught me some amazing things about drumming in various time signatures & proper technique in drumming overall. Over the years I have work with as opening band for The Bangles, War, Shenna Easton and many others. I did two live performances with two well known guitarists. Mark Kendall who later became the founder of the super rock group Great White and also Neal Schon who was one of the founding members of the rock group Journey. Lately, I have gone back into music production for original songs I wrote for my cd called: Alan Sweet Project or "Asp Dig-it-al" and this cd will feature amazing singers and musicians selected in my city of Kent, WA. and it has already has captured amazing tracks by legendary musicians such as: Abraham Laboriel Sr., Michael Landau, and Alex Acuna with more that are interested like them to still come in as my very special guest musicians. You will be getting a good drum teacher in me that can surely show you new things if you are open minded in learning as much as I can show you. It's up to you whether you are just starting out or have been playing/performing for years. I have learned and pull from the BEST drummers alive and I am still learning at age 57 now. Anyway, hope to hear from you and happy drumming! Alan CK Sweet of Asp band/prod. feat. the REAL STARS Of Music!

About Remy M.

Growing up in Seattle, I've been playing drum set at the professional level since I was in the eighth grade. I have since played gigs, festivals and shows on the local and national scale, with various bands and hired groups. My goal as an instructor is to create excited, focused, and skilled MUSICIANS, not just drummers.

When I started the drums at 8 years old, I've been a dedicated and passionate learner and explorer of all kinds of music, and I believe it has made me a great all-around musician. I believe this positively affects my teaching style, as I approach the concept of drumming through the window of music-making and practical application, rather than only technical drumming execution. Instead, I want to cater my lessons to the interests of my students, and help them build the tools to explore their musical aspirations with me.

I have a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Drum Set from the University of Washington, and I am well-connected in the Seattle area with other skilled ...

About Remy

I love music!

I am a drum instructor that focuses on musicianship. I live and breathe music every day, and the passion that drives me is what makes me want to be better at the drums, or any instrument. This passion is one I intend to convey to students to help them figure out their own skills and interests.

As your instructor, I would want to really dive into what it is you like, and help you create that same happiness for yourself, through the art of drumming and musicianship. I have a wide range of experience playing and writing music, all the way from jazz to rock to improvised music, and I use the skills I've acquired from personal events and studying music in college to help interpret the world of music we live in.

From a drumming perspective, we will be focusing on technical skill and drum sound crafting as a base for our train

ing. Meanwhile, we will also be tackling basic and advanced concepts of musical thinking, music playing, and music listening. Drummers have to be both versatile musically and physically comfortable on their instrument, so the end goal is for us to be able to apply both concepts (musicality and technique) to our drumming lives freely.

I look forward to hearing from you and continuing your musical journey!

I took lessons with Remy for a few years and honestly it was one of the best experiences. He is a really nice guy, was super patient with my pace of learning, and really knows his stuff. Probably the best part was that he knows a bunch of different styles so I could kind of pick up the specific tools I needed to play whatever kind of music I wanted. Highly recommend.

Our son is excited to see Evan each week, and looks forward to sharing his new skills with the family. Evan provides lessons at our house, is organized, and timely, as well as flexible with the his schedule to allow for changes in our family schedule from time to time."
